i developed a database for a warehouse before where almost EVERYBODY was stealing. a lot of people were going in and out of prison, actually the honest ones were, and the thieves were preparing the ambushes for them!

i was working on a project for a medical machine that ran WinCE. it was my first time to know about the compact framework. it is just weird to develop under stripped environments. unfortunately the project got pushed back because that company did not realize how much work has to be done on their medical device before they get to the programming part. so I moved on, although i was excited to develop for them.Bigshadow said:I have developed for the PalmOS but not for the WinCE. I would like to though. I have all the development evironments, but no WinCE devices.

San Francisco is a great place. I moved here 11 years ago from Wisconsin, and I love it here. I'd say bring your whole family on over, but it is extremely expensive to live here. Salaries may be higher, but it doesn't keep up with the pace of rent or trying to buy a house. Most of us are priced right out of the market. Lots of martial arts here, tho. Some really lowsy, but some really really good, and a huge variety.Navarre said:

If only I could convince my wife to move, flyingcrane. If I could I'd hitch up our wagon to the donkey and goat and we'd be a'headin' west.
Alas, that isn't going to happen so I'll work on finding peace here. I'm glad to hear that my preferred city really does have a lot to offer. Thanx.

I work in the legal department of a big brokerage investment company. I am not an attorney, but I am part of the legal dept. This is how I pay the bills, but is not how I identify myself.
I am a scuba diver, and was an instructor for a while. Drifted away from instructing, because I'm not in a position to do it economically. Like to dive the California coast with my wife, and we also take occasional trips to the tropics. Went to Belize back in June, and went to Thailand a year ago. Great stuff.
We have two cats, Grendel and Beowulf. They pester us all night, and I haven't had a good night's sleep in three years since we got them!
I also am a metal-artist hobbyist. I mostly concentrate on rebuilding Chinese style swords. If I can find a decent quality blade (many on the market are pure junk!) then I rebuild the hilt. I carve the grip out of exotic hardwoods, and cast the guard and the pommel out of either solid bronze, or solid silver alloy. More recently, I have begun making scabbards as well. I carve the scabbard out of exotic hardwoods, and do the metal fittings in bronze sheet. I've been very happy with the results so far, and would like to build a small business selling them to the Chinese martial arts crowd. I'd like to see that dream become a reality someday, but I'm mostly still developing my style and technique, but I've been able to outfit my sifu and some of my classmates with better weaponry!

I teach a 1 year College Diploma program in Computers, As it is a fairly small organization (With the program accredited by a fairly large College), I also get to do all of the IT stuff for the building, design and maintain a few websites and admin the network...
Yes, there are many things we are used to using in the non-embedded environments that are not available or not efficient on the embedded devices.mantis said:
I would jump at the chance to develop for that kind of development. You just have to be creative in working around what is missing.

well I don't just count one store I go all over my side of the country. And if someone stole something I'd probably let them for a number of reasons. They need it more then me or the store that has insurance to cover it. our counts aren't accuarate enough to weed out stealing anyway. If they steal something it's less for me to count. And at least they'd be stealing food and not money for drugs.
We loved visiting there when we lived in San Jose. I'm less sure I'd want to live there! But it has some great things to see.Flying Crane said:
I was there the night the (first) Gulf War started, and remember the huge demonstration...I paced it on the streets, glad that no one knew I was working for the Navy...I also nearly knocked over Paul Simon as he left a hotel in San Francisco one day. He was lost in thought.

I'd love to at least visit San Francisco. I could book a trip for about $1500, which is doable.
But, just going to the city or on some tourist trip wouldn't give me the real feel of the place. I wish I knew more about the kind of stuff only locals would know; get to see the real city.

I tried to PM you but your inbox is full.mantis said:
I tried to e-mail you but you are set to not receive e-mails.
So, the $1500 was an estimate from a Yahoo Travel quote plus some extras. But again, I wanted to get a real feel for the city, not the "Okay folks, there's the Golden Gate Bridge" tourist kind of thing. If you have any suggestions, feel free to PM...right after you clear up your inbox. lol
sorry if this rambled off-topic...although I'd still make my living in SF if I could.
